The arcs are not the same diameter so the system can take the shape of leg. The entrance of screws and wires are in minimally painful regions and direct to bone so no muscle irritation so that it,s more tolerable, provides more stable fixation and allows early full weight bearing. provides simultsneus proximal and distal tibia and fibula fixation ,The small size of the system allows clothing to be worn over it with full mobility of nearby joints.
